Leaf from a Buddhist Manuscript (verso)

Cleveland Museum of Art

Rectangular piece of light brown material, possibly parchment or wood, with rough edges and two holes with reddish-brown border near the right side. The surface features numerous lines of small, curved script. The script is dark brown and appears to be written in a single column. The holes are circular and have a diameter of approximately one-tenth the width of the material. The material has darker brown areas scattered throughout, possibly due to aging or damage. The background behind the material is a solid light beige color. The text is written in a Buddhist manuscript, produced by an unknown artist.
